I got great low light how to restart canon camera lens error images and video. The closeups, sunsets, and people shots all looked wonderful. The image quality

was great. The third day that I had it, I got a "lens error" and it stopped working. I looked through lens error canon s100 the manual and internet and couldn't find any solutions. I took it back to BestBuy, where they have a fourteen day return policy and got another one. Same thing!!! I test shot about a half dozen canon g12 lens error photos and a few short video clips over the next four or five days and got great results. I was just as impressed as the first time. The next time i pulled the camera out, i got the same "lens error" message and an unusable camera. Back to BestBuy where their Geek Squad also deemed the camera unusable. I turned down the option of another s95 and took a refund instead. I looked
Canon Powershot A4000 Lens Error
on the internet for "Canon s95 problems" and just came up with simple generic issues. When I tried again with a search for "Canon s95 lens error restart" I found quite a few people had this same problem. I was very frustrated as I really liked everything about the camera and it's quality images but that was completely meaningless if the camera either had a serious design or manufacturing flaw. I've returned to using my older Canon SD780 as I begin another search for a "pocket" camera. I cringe thinking about having the Canon s95 at a once in lifetime photo op and having it malfunction. Luckily for me, the camera broke down within a 14 day return period.

Not only do I have a wider range of options than any single camera can provide, but I have some degree of backup in case of failure. -- Cyril Reply Reply with quote Complain PaulRivers &

If you don't have a card reader in your computer(s), they are available inexpensively, for example: amazon.com/Mini-Memory-Card-Reader-Writer/dp/B000FNDWLQ/… –coneslayer May 6 '11 at 13:54 2 I got this issue with my camera too, when my son dropped it in the sand.

gears are stuck, and I have the dreaded lens error: lens will not retract, and is stuck half way. I've tried some approached mentioned http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/discuss/index.php?p=/discussion/3563/s95-lens-error on websites such as http://www.e18error.com/, but to no avail. I am hesitantly considering to open the camera and dig my way in to find and clean the gears manually, but as a last resort.Is there any other way I could solve this error that people here know of?Thanks! Jasja Comments Dave Mitchell September 2011 Jasjaif the lens has been pushed sideways by a bump, lens error it's my experience that one or more of the small plastic gears that extend and retract the lens is broken, in which case you're probably going to be out of luck. However, if the lens is stuck because particles of sand have gone into the lens housing things look much better. In the latter case, before opening the case, try brushing out the lens error canon particles with a fine brush - you may be able to slide it into the gaps.For all the Canon cameras I've tried taking apart (Ixus/Elph models only), getting at the lens assembly unfortunately requires taking most of the camera apart. The S95 may be different. Jasja September 2011 Hi Dave,that would indeed be the end of the camera. I guess the gears are to small to 3d print even if I could make an accurate copy. I am still hoping for sand, at first the lens did retract, then extended again and got stuck. When I turn it on I hear the motor working then stopping. Will try the brush trick, thanks!Jasja Dave Mitchell September 2011 Jasjait's worth gently shaking and tapping the camera with the lens pointing downwards to try to dislodge any sand particles. About 5 years ago I had just this problem with my S70 when using it on a sandy beach in a gusty wind. On bringing down the rig, I temporarily put the rig, with camera still switched on, down on the sand and the wind blew sand all over it. Gentle shaking did
